Links of Healing: The Chains That Built Me

After experiencing sexual abuse as a child, Peggy Warner Ayers relates to those who might feel defeated, alone, and hopeless. Although the abuse left a residue of anxiety and depression, she managed to win a State Championship in high school tennis, marry, adopt two beautiful children, and graduate from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in psychology. She believes in our inner voice and a connection to a higher power—beckoning each of us to NEVER GIVE UP. Not only has this mantra carried her through times of darkness, it has been her daily saving grace. Now, as a certified Peer Specialist, Peggy shares how facing her abuser after 34 years has empowered her to turn a victim into a victory.
